In keeping with the two-stage distancing guidelines, which have strengthened the metropolitan area, most churches conduct non-face-to-face worship services.
However, as some churches still conduct face-to-face worship, the church itself has voices of self-reliance.

The pastor is conducting a worship service in front of the shooting team provided inside.
Recorded worship videos are streamed in real time on the Internet.
“Let’s watch the pastor’s video letter together.”
This 1,500-member church has held non-face-to-face worship since the early days of the Corona 19 epidemic.
It is a chapel that conducts online worship in real time.
According to government guidelines, 20 people are gathering and wearing masks to keep their distance.
Meanwhile, in a small church in a residential area, neighborhood officials cracked down early in the morning.
The face-to-face worship took place despite repeated requests for compliance.

There was also a voice in the church calling for face-to-face worship to be postponed, but some church members were reported to have continued to request the service.
